"HEAVEN'S GROCERY STORE"
I was walking down life's highway a long time ago.
One day I saw a sign that read
`Heaven's Grocery Store.
As I got a little closer, the door came open wide,
And when I came to myself, I was standing inside.
I saw a host of angels. They were standing everywhere.
One handed me a basket and said, "My child, shop with care."
Everything a Christian needed is in the Grocery Store.
And if you couldn't carry them, you could come back for more.
First I got some PATIENCE. LOVE was in the same row.
Further down was UNDERSTANDING,
you need that wherever you go.
I got a box of WISDOM, a bag or two of FAITH.
I couldn't miss the Holy Ghost, for He was all over the place.
I stopped to get some STRENGTH and COURAGE to help me win the race.
And though my basket was getting full, I remembered to get some GRACE.
I didn't forget SALVATION, for salvation, that was free.
So, I tried to get enough of that to save both you and me.
Then I started up the counter to pay the grocery bill,
for I thought I had everything to do my Master's will.
As I went up the aisle, I saw PRAYER and I just had to put that in,
For I knew when I stepped outside, I would run into SIN.
PEACE and JOY were plentiful, they were on the last shelf.
SONG and PRAISES were hanging near so I just helped myself.
Then I said to the Angel, "Now how much do I owe?"
He just smiled and said, "Just take them everywhere you go!"
Again I smiled at him and said, "How much do I really owe?"
The Angel smiled again and said,
"My child, Jesus paid your bill a long time ago."
